Ceiling mount - height adjustable

I want to keep the floorspace and walls as clear as poss, but still want to have 7.1 surround for movie watching. Had an idea that there might be something available which would let me keep speakers out of the way mounted to the celing and pull them down into position when needed before pushing them back up out of the way afterwards.

Must have been thinking about those seventies dining table lamps.

Anyone know of anything like this maybe?

KEF do a great range of powered ceiling speakers.

They sence a speaker signal on the cable and pivot out of the ceiling, to project the sound into the room. Once speaker signals is switched off, the speakers will fold up, out of the way after a short period of time.

IIRC there are several other speaker manufacturers that offer these as well.
